Leadership calls this a "wartime level" of national investment

Early Wednesday morning, Senators Mitch McConnell and Chuck Schumer announced a massive $2 trillion stimulus deal set to be the largest economic stimulus package in American history as it faces the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak.

"This is a wartime level of investment into our nation," McConnell said.

The deal is set to include a range of far-reaching provisions. Everything from $1,200 government checks for individuals to hundreds of billions of dollars to fight the crisis are included.
